What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bang Cookies's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program for replacement Operating Managers is conducted at the Bang Cookies Shop located in Edison, New Jersey, and at a certified training Shop also located in Edison, New Jersey.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that if their Operating Manager needs to be replaced, the new manager will need to travel to Edison, New Jersey to complete the required training. The franchisee is responsible for paying Bang Cookies a supplemental training fee, currently $300 per manager per day, for each replacement manager attending the initial training.
In addition to the training fee, the franchisee is also responsible for all costs incurred by their managers in attending the training, such as travel, accommodation, and meals. This could represent a significant expense for franchisees, especially if they are located far from Edison, New Jersey. It is important for prospective franchisees to factor in these potential training costs when evaluating the overall investment required to operate a Bang Cookies franchise.
